I didn't remember thedead parrot being blue, byt it sure is.  The picture posted of the two blue are Hyacinth Macaws.

Tony, I am so uneducated! I need to get my nose out of my books and start looking at other things as well. Thanks. I do like Monty Python and will go hunting for that scene. In the processess, I will have a light hearted day on a cold, rain/snow day. Thanks for the nudge.
